What would you say about Lulea and their chances in next several seasons? Not following SHL closely mainly because I can't watch it nor can I speak Swedish, but I always liked Lulea and the league itself, so trying to follow livescore at least.

We really like MRO. He's gritty, a good PK-player and a great forechecker. Nice agitatior as well. And Nyberg will play over N�rsteb� and Gunnarsson, Nyberg - Donovan won't be split up.
My lines at the moment:
Olofsson - Lundqvist - Lasch
Bergenheim - Andersson - Friberg
Grundstr�m - Westerholm - Westerholm
Rosseli Olsen - Ehn - St�lberg
Hjalmarsson
Nyberg - Donovan
Dahlin - Sigalet
Almqvist - Westerlund
N�rsteb� - Gunnarsson
Johannesen

Their big chance is if they can hit great years of some of the young players they have in Emanuelsson, Gustavsson and Lundeström before leaving and others while maybe getting some former players back, dream would be Omark or Wallmark to lead the offense.
I think it's very unlikely they can be a contender for the next 2-3 years, though. Their core is too far behind at least 4-5 teams.
The 2017/2018 season should be better than the trainwreck that was the 2016/2017 season. At least we will have a real coach this year.
The team doesn't look that good though, there are too many "what ifs" and we have too many keyplayers that have issues with injuries. Most players have to take a step forward if we want to be able to at least fight for a top6 spot. I will be happy as long as we finish in the top10. We are still looking for our 1C, hopefully it will be someone better than Tim Kennedy this time.
It will be very exciting to see how both Lundeström and Einar Emanuelsson will look, they will probably be our highlights for the next season.
For the 2018/2019 season there are talk/rumors that both Linus Omark and Linus Klasen will return, if that happens we should be one of the better teams in the league.

We're not
Since he's drafted outside the first round and had a contract with us we should have the right to have him play in the SHL instead of the AHL if he does not grab a spot on the Leafs roster. However, we had the same situation with Tom Nilsson and let him go, so if Grundström really wants to be in NA I think we'd let him go as well.
Naah, don't think so. They have a lot of FW.
But if there is injuries he might get a chance.

American Djurgarden fan here! Hopeful this thread is pretty active. Always fun to talk about the SHL.
I forgot about those. Which team has improved their roster the most since last season? I know you always have to factor in losing a big chunk of the squad every season. Hard to say, I guess.
A lot of interesting squads this year, still early since some teams might lose some players in the NHL camps. Växsjö looks strong as always, Malmö could upset some with their great goalies. LHC feels very hit or miss. My top 5 is Frölunda, Växsjö, Malmö, Skellefteå and HV71
It's promising to see Malmö mentioned as a contender. It's important to have the league represent a large portion of the country. It's hard to fathom how Stockholm can be so lackluster, however, considering the talent pool from that area.
Give Djurgården a few years, they are still rebuilding with a lot of new staff and such. They will bounce back eventually.

Hey guys. I just had a question about Jesper Lindgren who played in Allsvenskan last season for Modo.
His point totals look impressive but sometimes they dont tell you everything.
For people that watched him on a regular basis, how did he look? Do you think he has an NHL future? A brief outlook on how his season went and analysis on him.
His draft scouting reports looked good at the time.
Thanks!

Lindgren is probably my favorite "unknown" prospect. His lack of physical maturity has been holding him back but I think he's probably the best 97 born Swedish D when the puck is on his stick. He's not bad defensively either, just has to get stronger.

Brynäs were impressive in Helsinki during CHL.
I've just started watching SHL so what are their chances this season along with Djurgården?
I guess Frölunda are the team to beat.
